PHOTOGRAPHY
EXHIBITION:
PLYMOUTH LANDSCAPES: THEN & NOW
February 27, 2010 - May 1, 2010 |
|
An exhibition of a
select group of historic photographs from the Museum's collection
showing the changes in the Plymouth area landscape since the late
19th and early 20th century. The historic photos, which date
between 1880 and 1910, depict an almost treeless countryside. A
few modern landscape photographs from contemporary photographers
Wes Ennis and Ed Nute will duplicate the older scenes to show the
dramatic changes between historic and contemporary Plymouth. |

Presentation & book-signing by Nick Bunker, author of
Making Haste From Babylon:
The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World: A New History
Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 7:00 pm |
Making Haste From
Babylon, which will be released by Knopf on April 13, explores
the economic and political circumstances that helped to drive the Mayflower
voyage forward as well as the influence the Plymouth settlement
had on the genesis of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Bunker, a graduate of King's College, Cambridge, had a successful
career in investment banking and financial journalism before
becoming engaged with the history of Lincolnshire (home territory
to many of the leaders of the Pilgrim movement). He has done
research at Pilgrim Hall Museum and the Massachusetts Historical
Society as well as at numerous English archives and libraries -
some previously unexplored for their Pilgrim connections.
Thoroughly researched - and thoroughly readable, Making Haste
From Babylon is a welcome addition to Pilgrim literature and
an invigorating new look at "our Pilgrims." |

Looking
towards the Future! |
|
In
2020, we will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
(and the 200th anniversary of the
founding of the Pilgrim Society).
Planning has already begun - and not a moment too soon!
Do YOU have an idea of something that should be incorporated into
the celebrations?
Send it along to director@pilgrimhall.org

On
June 10, 2008, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick visited
Pilgrim Hall Museum and signed an Executive Order creating a State
Commission to plan the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the
arrival of the Pilgrims in 2020.

that event.
